arctic Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Which version of Mandriva are you using? If you are using 2006 from a fresh install, please upgrade the Xorg package. I did some research and stumbled upon this guide for your card (translated from german). I hope it helps you. you must 1. uninstall the fglrx-rpm 2. start the installer with ./ati-driver-installer.***.run (replace *** with your version-number) 3. select in the installer "custom" --> select the correct xorg --> choose correct distribution. as usual, check the ATI site for additional information on required packages (compilers?) now you have to tell X which driver you want to use. Thus open the console and log in as root. Switch to the folder with the driver, e.g. "cd /home/user/ati". Launch "sh ATIDdriver.run". Replace ATIdriver with the name of your driver-file. Start the installation. After the isntallation, launch "aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf". Restart X/the system and your graphics should work now.

ianw1974 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 The fglrx-rpm, is the one you downloaded from ATI, so you need to remove this, whatever the file was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 No idea. I don't have ATI cards on my computers and only translated what I found (most other topics were about the X700 not running at all under linux). Maybe someone with an ATI-card using Mandriva can help you more than me. edit: Ah... Ian to the rescue. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
